Subrogation Approach

“As a law student I never would have guessed that I would one day be learning about such things as gold extraction in the Canadian Shield, or how different firing techniques for casting bricks could affect the structural integrity of blast furnaces.”

-Lauren Virzi

From DT Teammates

Lauren’s strong desire to be accurate and legally precise is a boon for the firm. She is not afraid to master legal issues and strategize towards a solution.

Lauren is unique in that she is licensed in both the United States and Canada. Consequently, Lauren has experience dealing with the hyper-adversarial nature of U.S. litigation and the more collegial Canadian approach. Being skilled in both areas, allows Lauren to aggressively push opposing counsel on Canadian matters beyond their comfort zone and, conversely, take a more nuanced approach with opposing counsel in the U.S. These techniques result in Lauren maximizing recoveries for our clients. I witnessed this first-hand when working with Lauren on the Goldcorp mine collapse in northwestern Ontario.
